Which SSD should I buy to upgrade my 13" late 2008 Macbook Aluminum?
My 2008 macbook is still in grate shape and I just upgrade the ram from 2GB to 4G and now I am thinking about upgrade the HD from 5400rpm drive to SSD!
Do you guys think the SSD will speed up my macbook?
Any recommendation on whichSSD to buy? I don't need big storage, currently there are 80GB of data on my hard drive with a lot of unused software and data in it.
Thank You

Yes without a doubt it will speed up everything!
Extremely satisfied with my Mercury Extreme SSD from OWC. As a suggestion go with the SATA II model and not SATA III, and do a clean install rather than cloning your existi9ng drive.

- Specs:
- 13.3 MBP (2009) 6GB DDR3 1066 , 500GB Seagate Momentus XT (Hybrid SSD-HD)
Just recently ( As of yesterday ) upgraded my MBP mid 2009 from 2GB to 6GB. As well as 160GB to a 500GB SSD/HD Hybrid ( Seagate Momentus XT ).
I got all this from OWC and it turns out that doing a fresh install is alot easier. Good luck!

I found a Seagate Momentus XT hybrid - does that mean, it's a SSD? Seagate 500GB Hybrid ST95005620AS | På lager | Billig
15,4" MacBook Pro | 2,4GHz | 4GB | 320GB | NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M [256MB]
